Since this is a natural stone, color may vary between\ntranslucent white, grey, yellow, pink or brown. Genuine Arkansas stones are\n100% quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas. They are highly\nsought after worldwide for their superior ability to sharpen knives and\nwoodworking tools, as well as to put surgical quality edges on a wide variety\nof instruments Arkansas stones produce these fine edges s with less wear that\nman-made stones. Arkansas stones are classified as Novaculite, which is\nextremely hard and fine grained rock containing almost pure silica. These\nstones are classified in 4 grades and progress from Soft to Hard to\nTranslucent and finally to Black. Each grade is based on the specify gravity\nor density of the mineral and not the grit or particle size. The grades with\nmore dense or tightly packed particles will produce a finer or sharper edge.\nIn addition, stone grades are not determined by color, as color alone will not\ndifferentiate the hardness of different stone grades. Each grade may contain\nany of the following colors: black, blue-black, charcoal, grey, white, multi-\ncolor, brown, pink or red, or a combination of these colors in a single stone.\nThese stones come in a leather pouch to protect them when not in use. All\nArkansas stones work best with light mineral honing oil to suspend the metal\nparticles produced by the sharpening process which prevents clogging of the\npores of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eTranslucent Arkansas pocket sharpening stone is 3 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1\/4 inch thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eHarder stone than the Soft or Hard and used to hone a polished, razor sharp edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eColor may vary between translucent white, grey, yellow, pink or brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eGenuine Arkansas stone is 100% quarried in the Ouachita Mountains of Central Arkansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eCome in a leather pouch to protect when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DAN'S WHETSTONE COMPANY, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58176034734240,"sku":"B015AA630K","price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0418\/7134\/3776\/files\/B015AA630K.jpg?v=1784010004","url":"https:\/\/dingoship.com.au\/products\/genuine-arkansas-translucent-extra-fine-pocket-knife-sharpening-stone-whetstone-3-x-1-x-1-4-in-leather-pouch-tap-13a-l","provider":"DingoShip AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
